QTC_PLUGIN_DIRS was exactly created for this.

You have to set that somewhere before qtcreator(plugin).pri is included.
(and you might want to use $$PWD/...... to avoid relative paths in qmake variables)

So e.g. in your plugin’s .pro file
QTC_PLUGIN_DIRS += $$PWD/../qore-plugin
include($$QTCREATOR_SOURCES/src/qtcreatorplugin.pri)

Or you can set QTC_PLUGIN_DIRS as an environment variable as well.

Also note that this only works if plug1 (qorus-plugin ?) uses a plug1_dependencies.pri to specify its dependencies (i.e. with the  QTC_PLUGIN_NAME,  QTC_LIB_DEPENDS and  QTC_PLUGIN_DEPENDS inside).
